I originally referred to these references to invoke a new query on its nature. If these stars are of normal A-star like objects, then what would be the cause of 'fading' resembling those of RCB stars? These stars don't seem to be striking in other wavelengths (IRAS, ROSAT, 2MASS). Could someone tell us the nature of "IA" type variables? Regards, Taichi Kato
